Chapter 34: Hunting and Being Hunted (continued) [Asking for Recommendation Votes (Continued)]
"It's not safe around here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Roger didn't know what Amira was thinking, thinking that she was a little scared when she saw the corpse, he picked up the crossbow and continued: "It is estimated that there is a gnoll tribe around here, although none of them were escaped just now, but these gnolls are screaming too loudly, they have weapons, and it will be troublesome to alarm the whole tribe, let's be careful and leave." ”
"Uh-huh, let's go."
Next, they moved forward more cautiously to avoid further sneak attacks.
…………
The next morning, Roger finally saw the cliff in the distance, better than he thought it would be.
"There is a valley below the cliff, and there is a way up the mountain, so let's go over it as soon as possible and then rest." After a quick and continuous rush, they encountered another group of goblins last night, so they were very tired now.
Roger shook off the thought of sitting down and resting and moved on.
Amira is better, she trains a lot in the field, the last time she was attacked by slave traders, after Roger left, she tried even harder.
After noon, they climbed halfway up the mountain.
"Just rest here." Roger sat down and didn't go up for a reason, the view here would not be obscured.
After eating some food and water, and replenishing his strength, Roger took out a monocular.
This kind of equipment, as far as Roger knew, was the work of a master dwarf craftsman, and it was expensive and not very numerous, and it was not necessarily available to ordinary people.
He had found this from the last time he had searched Wesley's belongings, and when he saw the monoculars, it was clear that he and Helena were being watched from a long distance.
The main storage bag he uses now is also Wesley's, with a total of six feet of storage space, which is relatively large. The treasures of the nobility were indeed numerous.
Roger began to look at the situation in the distance.
Even in winter, the forest is full of trees, and it is not easy to see people passing under the trees. Roger looked at it for a few minutes, but found nothing.
Maybe not yet.
"Let me see." Amira is intrigued by the monoculars, and the elven girl's curiosity flaps in again.
Whether it's taking turns to watch, Roger just closes his eyes and recuperates.
I heard that elves can go days without sleeping, and Roger is a good learner, and Amira doesn't seem to be sleepy. He remembered that Amira hadn't gone sleepless for a long time before, and it seemed that she could only go without sleep when she needed to.
I didn't close my eyes for a day and a night, and it was still such a high-intensity march, although he could still hold on, but Roger's state was plummeting, and it was not good to enter the dark region in his current condition.
The monsters in the underworld are much more troublesome than those in the forest.
Handing the monoculars to Amira, Roger leaned against the rocks and pretended to sleep.
"Roger, they're coming."
A few hours later, Roger heard Amira's voice.
"I'll see." Roger brought the monoculars. Amira pointed in one direction, "Over there." ”
"That's where we passed before."
Roger saw it clearly. About forty people on the other side, led by two dogs, quickly came over this way.
"No wonder, it turned out that a tracking dog was used to lead the way."
Roger put away his monoculars and rechecked his crossbow and keel knife. The sleep just now had allowed him to regain enough strength, and now he was not afraid of any enemy.
They continued up the mountain, through the cliffside path, past the cave above, and into the dark realm.
…………
The bloodhead chased after his men for a day and a night, and they also rested in batches in the early morning. If it weren't for the fact that the two tracking dogs were still struggling to catch up, he would have thought that he had lost it.
Halfway through, they saw some bloodstains, the blood of monsters in the forest.
"Those two little bunnies fought with the gnolls, and there are gnolls around here." Bloodhead was quick to confirm, and at the same time, he saw a lantern-like eye in the distance, which were the eyes of a gnolloll.
However, the gnolls did not attack, and after they aimed with a dozen light crossbows, the monsters quickly fled.
In the face of so many of them, and so many sophisticated weapons, these monsters in the forest also know how to retreat.
Their movements are relatively large, but there are no wild monsters harassing them along the way.
The most powerful monsters in the Dusk Forest are the bear goblins, and with their equipment and numbers, as long as they don't encounter a large group, almost no monsters will fight them.
Although predators are at the high end of the food chain, they need to be sure enough, and once they are injured, it is often the time when the predator becomes the prey.
They finally came to a small valley and tracked the dogs through the gravel and up the narrow mountain path.
", where are these two little bunnies going?" Bloodhead found that the area was very desolate, and the terrain was dangerous. He gritted his teeth and continued to follow.
"This is dangerous ground, we will be ambushed." A female slave trader's attentive subordinate glanced around and reminded uneasily.
"Lao Tzu knows." The bloody head roared, "Divided into two groups, twenty people followed ten meters away." ”
Ten minutes later, they saw a small cave, and when they entered, it was still relatively large, and after going around a bend, the little leader of the slave traders saw a deep and secluded tunnel.
"A secret passage, could it be a place for two little rabbit cubs to have a tryst?"
The bloody head ordered the torches to be lit, and followed the men and horses after him, and after a few minutes, another turn was made. After rounding over, they saw a faint light in the distance, and the tunnel went straight down.
The tracking dog barked a few times, indicating that the young elf girl and the boy were not far from this side, and the bloody head and the centaur accelerated in pursuit.
The sound of large groups of people running, and the low barking of tracking dogs, spread in the underworld.
Bloody Head stood in a large cavern with many faint lights of various colors, surrounded by tunnel mouths, large and small.
What the guys didn't notice was that their unbridled running caught the attention of the creatures underground, and several giant monsters were scurrying towards them at a turn in a tunnel.
The tracking dog ran towards a tunnel in front of him, and the bloodhead followed.
The leader of the slave traders had only walked a few steps when suddenly there was a pop behind him, followed by a terrible scream, and then the sound of screams.
The people who followed behind were attacked.
Bloody Head suddenly turned around, and saw that one of his subordinates had been torn off half of his body by a giant monster, and the black and red fell to the ground.
The torch in his hand flew into the air and slammed into the rock wall, and the flames flew in dots.
"Let's go."
The giant monster is in the cave behind, there is more than one, it is raging at a rapid pace of slave traders, it is impossible to escape from the attack behind, there is only a dead way to turn back, the bloody head roared, and rushed forward with the men and horses in front of him.
